Lord Valerian sneered contemptuously, “What are you? You think you have the right to speak to me? Mere trash like an ant, I could crush you with a single finger!”
Hearing this, Hollow Frost’s face turned ashen.
Hollow Frost had not expected that after ten years of imprisonment, Lord Valerian would still be so arrogant.
“Hmph!”
Hollow Frost snorted coldly.
“Don’t be arrogant, Lord Valerian! Do you still think you are the invincible Primus from back then? No! Now, you are nothing but a prisoner!”
Lord Valerian’s face was indifferent.
“Stop the nonsense! What do you want, coming here to find me?”
“Heh heh!”
Hollow Frost chuckled lightly.
“Lord Valerian, let’s be frank, I can get you out of here.”
“Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?”
Lord Valerian looked at Hollow Frost mockingly.
He did not believe that Hollow Frost would release him without a reason.
Hollow Frost gritted his teeth and said, “I need you to kill Chris Shelby!”
“Chris Shelby?”
Upon hearing the name, Lord Valerian furrowed his brow.
After all, he had been here for ten years, and was out of touch with many things outside.
Hollow Frost explained, “Chris, the current Amerosia Primus! And Chris’s master is none other than the Emperor Teacher, Archer Wintersong!”
“Archer Wintersong!”
Hearing the name Archer Wintersong, a powerful murderous aura burst forth from Lord Valerian.
“Archer Wintersong! Archer Wintersong! Where is he? I will kill him! Kill him!”
Lord Valerian became agitated, roaring repeatedly.
If it hadn’t been for Archer Wintersong, he would not have been captured and brought to this forsaken place.
Over these ten years, every day, Lord Valerian longed to kill Archer Wintersong.
“Archer Wintersong has gone to a very dangerous place! But his disciple Chris is still in Middleton. Your task is to help me kill Chris, and if you agree, I will let you go.”
Hollow Frost looked smug as he watched Lord Valerian.
In his view, Lord Valerian would surely not refuse his offer.
Indeed, Lord Valerian glanced at Hollow Frost and said coldly, “I never work for anyone, but since this Chris is Archer Wintersong’s disciple, I accept your request!”
Upon hearing this, a flicker of joy appeared on Hollow Frost’s face.
As long as Lord Valerian was willing to help him, Chris was as good as dead!
Seeing the smug smile on Hollow Frost’s face, Lord Valerian mocked, “But don’t be too happy too soon. By letting me out, aren’t you afraid I might return and wreak havoc in Amerosia once more?”
Hearing this, Hollow Frost’s face turned sour.
Ten years ago, Lord Valerian was the Amerosia Primus.
He should have been guarding the frontier, but then he suddenly conspired with Quartz Ridge and rebelled.
Within a month, Lord Valerian led his army to conquer thirty-two cities, advancing close to Middleton.
If it had not been for Archer Wintersong’s intervention, Lord Valerian might have overturned the entirety of Amerosia.
That war killed millions and left tens of millions homeless.
A repeat would devastate all of Amerosia.
But most importantly, if Master William found out that he had released Lord Valerian, not only would he die, but the entire Frost family would be ruined!
“Hmph!”
Hollow Frost snorted coldly.
“Lord Valerian, I had already anticipated this outcome, so I brought a photo.”
With that, Hollow Frost took a photo from his pocket.
Seeing the person in the photo, Lord Valerian became extremely agitated.
“Bastard! How did you find her? What have you done to her?”
“Hahaha!”
Seeing Lord Valerian’s agitated state, Hollow Frost immediately burst out laughing.
“So, do you recognize this person? Yes, this person is your daughter!”
“Why did you rebel against Amerosia back then if not for your daughter?”
At these words, a pained expression crossed Lord Valerian’s face.
Ten years ago, Lord Valerian was guarding the frontier for Amerosia. Suddenly, devastating news arrived: his wife had been brutally murdered by an enemy at home, and his only daughter was missing. Upon hearing this, Lord Valerian was consumed with rage.
To avenge his wife and daughter, Lord Valerian shockingly colluded with Quartz Ridge to rebel against Amerosia. Ultimately, he massacred the entire clan of his foe. However, he was also imprisoned in the Obsidian Citadel.
Now, seeing a photo of his daughter once again, how could Lord Valerian not be stirred?
Hollow Frost said with a smirk, “You know, it took me a long time to find your daughter. But rest assured, she is safe for now. However, her future safety depends on you!”
“As long as you obey me, I will let you reunite with your daughter! But if you disobey, don’t blame me for being ruthless and separating you and your daughter forever!”
Hearing this, Lord Valerian’s body trembled slightly. Though he was the undefeated Primus, he was also a father. When he was captured, his daughter had been only eight years old. Now, ten years later, she must have grown into a beautiful young woman. How is she now? Is she well?
Hollow Frost said with a half-smile, “Lord Valerian, I can tell you, your daughter has grown up beautiful! If you don’t want her to die, just listen to me.”
Since his wife’s death, his daughter had been Lord Valerian’s greatest vulnerability. Taking a deep breath, Lord Valerian said, “Fine, I agree to your terms-I’ll kill Chris!”
Faced with Hollow Frost’s threats, Lord Valerian ultimately chose to compromise.
“Ha ha ha!”
Hollow Frost laughed triumphantly.
“Lord Valerian, you truly are a wise man! Remember, you are only to kill Chris for me! Don’t cause any trouble, and don’t let anyone know I released you, or else I will kill your daughter!”
…
That day, Chris was preparing to leave Middleton. Tiger was driving him to the airport. Suddenly, a few thugs were seen walking along the roadside.
Boom! Out of nowhere, a Ferrari convertible sped by.
“Ptui!”
Suddenly, a glob of spit landed on a thug’s face.
The thug cursed loudly, “Who the hell spits like that without any manners!”
The car stopped, and a girl turned her head, yelling, “Sorry, I did spit on you on purpose! If you have a problem with that, come and hit me!”
Hearing this, the thugs could no longer hold back.
“Damn it, go grab her!”
With a roar, the thugs charged towards her.
“Ha ha ha! If I’ve offended you guys somehow, then come and hit me if you dare!”
With a loud laugh, the girl slammed on the gas and sped away.
The thugs couldn’t catch up with the sports car and were left shouting angrily behind her.
This girl was none other than Emily Silverstone.
